Mie Ayam Jamur with the Best Homemade Egg Noodles 自家制印尼雞麵

I have a constant craving for mie ayam (Indonesian chicken noodle), and so far, I haven't been happy with all the ready made noodles that I've tried. There's one Indonesian restaurant in Hong Kong that serves mie ayam with homemade egg noodles just like what we have in Indonesia, but I prefer a different type of chicken topping, which I can make at home, but they won't sell me their handmade noodles. This is really frustrating! I want the perfect combo! Perfect noodles and perfect topping! Is that too much to ask? (It probably is. Heheheh)我對印尼雞麵有種情有獨中, 有份情, 食過現成個D好多都唔係咁掂. 係香港有間都係自制既雞麵, 都係用蛋做嘅, 但係我唔係咁鐘意佢個餸. 可惜佢地冇得浄買面..

Luckily, a good friend of mine, Ieie, was willing to share her uncle's homemade egg noodles recipe. He uncle was a mie ayam vendor in Indonesia. Wow! How perfect! So, one fine day, we braved ourselves and tried to make the noodles (actually Ieie made the noodles, we just "helped" i.e. annoyed her). We also prepared some backup store-bought noodles, in case we failed miserably.好彩有個朋友開鋪, 係印尼轉整哩個麵, 就叫埋我老友去我屋企一齊整啦

That's baby Marcus, wanting to grab a strand of the homemade noodles.傲B都話相整埋一份..XD

Here's the recipe...neatly written on Ieie's notebook :)下面就係秘傳嘅食譜, 要問准好多人先放得上黎架, 大家整嘅時候真係要心存感激呀!!
(we made half of the recipe, serves 4)我地將個食譜除左半, 四人食

Is mie ayam the same as soto ayam? Looks kinda different, so just wondering:) Cos i love soto ayam!! Delicious❤

Making noodles from scratch is such a tedious job! Your friend really did a GREAT job with the noodle making, it definitely looks springy ^_^ & your chicken mushroom topping looks appetizing too dear:)
